Unless you have gobs of free time and really like working out, it's much more time-efficient to simply reduce caloric intake. e: like I don't have the time to run marathons to burn off eating a whole pizza

Oh poo poo no. I loving hate candy. I don’t drink soda either. The only vices I have are coffee (2-3 cups / days, mostly black but I’ll sometimes make an espresso with steamed milk) and beer (stouts, I generally only drink during the weekend). I got a few things for the kitchen between Black Friday and Christmas to help me meal prep and cook for the week which is really what I need to work on.

My AV notwithstanding, the fastest way to look like you probably want to look if you're a stereotypical skinny-fat goon who makes posts like "I want to get abs and don't want to get big" is to take up rock climbing. This is impractical for a lot of people obviously, and also you might fall and die.* *Climbing in a climbing gym on the auto-belays is very safe if you just follow the rules and aren't a huge rear end in a top hat, though. The ideal thing in general is to find a very strenuous exercise that doesn't bore you to death, so you will consistently do a shitload of it without hating life and quitting.

While diet can help lose weight, it should also be noted that exercise also has a ton of other health benefits, so if you can, exercise too.

2017 was my least terrible year since, wanna say, uh, 2011. It wasn't a good year, but it was an improvement over some of them. Also, if you starve yourself, your body is going to go into shock and slow down your metabolism in general, including the burning fat part, so I wouldn't go that route.

Buy a good set of food scales and use my fitnesspal to help track calories and macros. I just try to limit cheat days to 2 a month.

Ive found 2 cheat meals a month is optimal for overall look but I do it every week and have a 6 pack. Of course I am super strict the other 6.5 days but yea 2 a month is prob a good place to start.

Exercise is good for you in lots of ways besides losing weight, yes. However, in addition to just reducing caloric intake to an amount proportionate to the calories you're burning every day, eating a healthy diet has lots of other good benefits, too. And a healthy diet is more than just restricting calories. My goal for 2018 is to be healthier by getting more exercise and eating a healthier diet. I'm not trying to lose or gain weight particularly - I do have too much fat at my midsection, but my overall weight (5'8", ~155lbs) is fine. I also don't eat like a total goon - I enjoy and eat vegetables and fruits, and don't drink a lot of sugary sodas - but I need to make moderate improvements (fewer carbs, more vegetables). Main thing is to get off my rear end, I sit for 12+ hours a day and I don't work out at all, I just get some walking done occasionally. Gonna upgrade that to 3x a week exercise (of any kind) and try to sustain that indefinitely. Another resolution for 2018 is to get the top three house projects done. We've been here for 8 years and still haven't done a number of important things. #1 tear down the old leaking awful patio, demo the uneven concrete, put in new patio flooring, construct new patio walls and roof to code #2 repair stucco on the side of the house where we removed that tree, and then prep & paint the whole exterior #3 re-grade all around the foundation, run a french drain along the back of the house, and then repair & upgrade gutters where needed Finally, in order to maintain my current ~9.75 posts-per-day I need to make about 3560 posts in 2018. I feel like that's a reasonable and achievable goal, but it'd be cool to push my PPD up to a nice round 10. Since I've already been on SA for 10 years, I'll need to add about another thousand posts this year, so I need to post about 12 to 13 posts a day all year. I bet I can do it! Wish me luck!

I will never have abs because my sweet tooth is a cruel, relentless master. Fortunately, I've cut way back on my beer intake in the last few years.Shimrra Jamaane posted:I still laugh at people who go "I don't want to lift weights because I don't want to get big." My wife says this a lot when I want her to come to tougher lifting classes with me.

If it's gonna be a generic candy bar, it'll be a kitkat, but I rarely do that. Ice cream though, god drat will I crush some gelato. That Talenti caramel crunch poo poo almost killed my ability to eat halotop.

Peanut M&M's are a classic. Peanut butter + chocolate is also a classic. Seattle has this slowly but consistently growing artisinal chocolate scene. I haven't tried any yet but the reviews are pretty great.

Regular M&Ms, dark chocolate + cranberries + almonds + cashews, Nesquik*, Snickers, Twix, and anything from Ghirardelli's *gently caress you, I'm a grown rear end man. I can do what i want!!!! I don't have these regularly except the trail mix and the chocolate milk since those double as "healthy" snacks for me (lol) SHOAH NUFF posted:I don't mean to sound cruel, but... I agree and it sucks. I think they're just playing off people's guilt and/or generosity, which is truly hosed up considering all the billionaires who aren't doing poo poo. No, rich guy, donating to make your taxes better doesn't count.

Basically, if it's not going to break your teeth due to being frozen, throw that crap in the freezer for a while ahead of time. Peanut M&Ms, Reese's PB Cups, KitKat, etc all freaking awesome fresh out the freezer! I used to love 3 Muskateers, I haven't had one in forever though.

The Holiday Mint M&Ms this past Christmas (not White Peppermint, gently caress that poo poo) were amazing and I must've gone through several bags by myself over the course of a month or two. Also the S'Mores Crispy M&Ms from a year ago.
